The document discusses alternative funding options for game developers to support user acquisition during game launches. It notes that while some games go viral with no promotion, most require spending on user acquisition. Traditional options like venture capital, publishers, or credit cards have limitations. The document introduces PollenVC as an alternative that provides daily funding based on sales, allowing developers to reinvest money directly into promotion while their game is performing well in order to acquire more users and lower their customer acquisition costs.
Webinar: Survival Analysis for Marketing Attribution - July 17, 2013Revolution Analytics
A central question in advertising is how to measure the effectiveness of different ad campaigns. In online advertising, including social media, it is possible to create thousands of different variations on an ad, and serve millions of impressions to targeted audiences each day. Rather too often, digital advertisers use the last click attribution model to evaluate the success of campaigns. In other words, when a user clicks on an ad impression, only the very last event is deemed as significant. This is convenient but doesn't help in making good marketing decisions.
Survival analysis is widely used in the modeling of living organisms and time to failure of components, but Chandler-Pepelnjak (2010) proposed to use survival analysis for marketing attribution analysis. Listen to our webinar to learn more about this theory and a big data case study, showing how DataSong used Revolution Analytics.
Customer experience (CX) marketing is complex, crossing organizational and communication channels throughout the entire company. Thatโs why many companies rate their efforts low.

Most brands struggle to work effectively with startups due to a lack of clarity and defined processes. Surveys of brands and startups found the biggest barriers to be a lack of speed within brands, complicated procurement processes, and extended payment terms for brands, while startups struggle with understanding brand needs and scaling solutions. Both agree that establishing clear objectives, common goals and metrics, as well as well-defined processes and timelines would improve outcomes. Startups are advised to focus on their core strengths and understanding brand objectives, while brands should embrace risk and define roles to avoid duplication when working with startups.
The document summarizes 7 common myths in UX design and provides evidence against each one. The myths addressed are:
1. All content must fit above the fold. However, users now scroll before pages fully load and long pages have higher conversion.
2. Users only read word-for-word. In reality, users usually skim pages looking for keywords, headings, and relevant information.
3. All content must be accessible in 3 clicks. The number of clicks does not affect success or satisfaction as long as users can find what they need.
4. Banner blindness where users ignore ads. This phenomenon applies to any content that looks like an advertisement.
5. Copying strategies

Mobile User Experience Optimization, from Onboarding to MonetizationShai Wolkomir
The mobile experience process could leverage from so many data points or "sensors" that we can derive from, alas, in real time we tap into less than 5% of those sensors when we implement the relevant ( personalized or not ) user experience.
Our UX challenges there are staggering and would only grow in time, let's take the onboarding experience as an example, today we are roughly loosing 30% of our users just at that initial experience which our user undergoes, which makes them unlikely to come back in the near future. "Onboarding" - it's that place we are truly "flying blind", in most cases we know nothing about our users, thus, we master the art of .. guessing!
Asking ( the device and it's surrounding ) the right questions at the right time, could make the difference when approaching these set of challenges, especially on mobile. At this session we would discuss more than 10 use cases where data matters, and how the intersection between data/sensors and user experience on mobile defines the way we should think when creating our next blueprint.
Traditional software organizations have spent the last decade+ adding sales headcount as revenue targets increase, fine-tuning cold calling strategies, and pushing reps "always be closing." But, itโs time to face the harsh reality: the future of a successful go-to-market strategy is product-led. In fact, the most successful IPOs and fastest growing private companies of the past five years all orient themselves around a cost-efficient product-led go-to-market. You have the opportunity to get ahead of the curve and change your sales motion, but only if you commit now to building a product-first organization.
In this session, Devon will discuss:
- How to adapt your organization to a product-first model
- Optimize conversion through stronger prospect engagement with a focus on customer success
- Lead your organization internally to make the shift to Product Qualified Leads
- Redirect spend and maximize output
Martin Macmillan introduces the Pollen VC proposition at App Promotion Summit London 2014.
Pollen VC gives app developers faster access to revenues theyโve already earned from the app stores. Revenue can be channelled back into user acquisition immediately, meaning that the app or game is funding its own user growth, and developers are less reliant on self-funding or venture capital to grow user numbers.

How to Finance Your Growth A Metrics Based Approach - Martin MacmillanPollen VC
This document discusses how app developers can finance growth through a metrics-based approach using revenue recycling. It introduces Pollen VC, which unlocks the value of accrued app store earnings to fund advertising spend and fuel faster user acquisition and growth, without the need for venture capital. The document covers key metrics like LTV, CPI, and cash flow modeling to illustrate how revenue recycling can achieve the same user acquisition spend with a smaller initial budget or enable spending 4x more on paid user acquisition with the same budget. Developers are encouraged to contact Pollen VC to have their LTV and cash flows modeled.

We hope that by the end of this class, youโll be well equipped to maximize your gameโs potential
The document discusses the funding gap that app and game developers face when trying to acquire users through paid user acquisition (UA) campaigns. Developers need funding to reinvest in UA in order to acquire more users, but they often cannot access funding from traditional sources like venture capital, credit cards, or publishers. This funding gap means that many great apps and games are never able to reach their full potential. The document proposes that developers could use funding based on their daily app revenue to directly reinvest in UA campaigns and acquire more users in a self-funding cycle. It emphasizes the importance of testing UA strategies to understand user metrics before launching large campaigns.
Pollen VC Building A Digital Lending BusinessPollen VC
Pollen VC builds a digital lending business to help app developers access their app store earnings early. Their tech platform connects directly to app stores to price risk in real time. This allows developers to reinvest earnings daily into user acquisition instead of waiting 60+ days for platforms to pay out. Typically, developers fail to get early credit and can't acquire more users, but Pollen VC's new model provides funding using real-time app data to validate risk. They aim to fund more opportunities for long tail developers by improving access to working capital.

It provides early access to revenue earned from app stores so developers can reinvest in user acquisition and scaling. Using case studies, it shows how recycling revenue in this way allows developers to stay cash flow positive with smaller budgets and acquire users faster than relying solely on platform payout schedules. Developers benefit from more control over their business and the ability to do more promotional spending earlier in the lifecycle.

DWS15 - Game Summit - Mobile Gaming - Sean Kauppinen - IDEAIDATE DigiWorld
This document discusses both opportunities and challenges for developers in the mobile game market. It notes that the market for becoming the next big hit like Rovio or Supercell has likely closed, as the top-grossing games are all over a year old. However, niche games may still find success. To engage players, the document recommends focusing on social sharing features, video capture and streaming, community forums, guild systems, status/achievement systems, in-game rewards, events, and loyalty programs. It also discusses new monetization models like pay-for-saves or cable subscription models for mobile games.

The document summarizes key things publishers need to know about changes coming in iOS 14:
1) It will be much harder than expected to get users to allow tracking in iOS 14.5. Apps risk rejection if they do not comply with new privacy and data policies.
2) More apps will be rejected for violations of Apple's tightened privacy and data usage policies. Attribution will now rely solely on Apple's SKAdNetwork, dividing reporting into two dashboards.
3) Many things may break both externally and internally as apps update to use alternative identifiers to the IDFA and comply with new policies. ConversionValues reported through SKAdNetwork will be important for future user acquisition.

This document discusses the different potential platforms for distributing VR content, including app stores, downloads, and browsers. It notes both advantages and disadvantages of each approach. App stores provide discovery, user reviews, and monetization capabilities but are limited by their interfaces and policies. Downloads require more commitment from users and aren't well-suited for casual experiences. Browsers have no downloads but monetization is less clear and performance lags behind native apps. The document concludes developers should consider cross-platform solutions or choosing a specific platform to maximize their chances of success in the emerging VR distribution landscape.
